Hello everyone, we want to purchase a condominium from the year 2010. Minor defects have been documented (renew plaster, small crack in the tiles). Otherwise, it looks quite good to us laymen. Would you order an appraiser for such a property? And if so, what kind? (expert?) We are still undecided and would appreciate your opinions.

Best regards,
Guntpat

If you choose one, make sure that he is publicly appointed and sworn in. For example, you can find that through the [IHK]. When you buy a new car or phone, you usually read a lot of reports, weigh options, ask for advice. And those are amounts much smaller than when buying an apartment. The expert might cost you a few hundred euros. I think that's money well spent.

Since you are asking about this, you apparently cannot judge yourself whether the apartment is worth the purchase price and whether there might be any defects that you do not see.
So the answer is:
Yes, if you want to play it safe.
No, if you are willing to take a risk.

Only you can assess how high the risk is, as only you can evaluate your own abilities.

Regards
Specki

I am actually a friend of independent advice but here I would save myself that. What is an expert supposed to see in a relatively new apartment that is not obvious? He can't look behind the wall, insulation, window sills, baseboards, toilet, tile ... anyway ...
